In 2022, former New York Giants and Ole Miss quarterback Eli Manning underwent a transformation.
For an episode of Eli’s Places—his college football docuseries on ESPN+—Manning went undercover at Penn State’s walk-on tryouts as a player named Chad Powers. The self-deprecating segment turned into a huge hit, and has currently been viewed over 15 million times on ESPN’s YouTube channel.
According to Variety, that segment is now set to become a series on Hulu starring Glen Powell. The Top Gun: Maverick and Anyone But You star will co-create the show alongside screenwriter Michael Waldron; the Manning brothers will serve as executive producers.
